I'm having a difficult time with this roof/roofs. I've attached a roof plan and south elevation of the building and the Revit file. I've tried manipulating the roof and tried to create masses (with solid/void extrusions/blends) I wasn't able to get the masses to join therefore not being able to attach a roof to their face. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

I was able to do this with slope arrows. If you can determine the fall line of your roof (the exact slope direction), then you can use slope arrows to build each roof. You could also build each face as an individual roof. See pictures attached.

I tried what you have done but am still unsuccessful! Any suggestions? Should there be any defined slopes on the sketched lines?
Thanks for your input!

I've tried creating that same image you posted with the sketch lines but when i go to hit the finish roof button...its says "can't make footprint roof."

I just tried creating each plane separately but can't get the corners to align correctly.
